“About half of all states permit second-parent adoptions by the unmarried partner of an existing legal parent, while in a handful of states courts have ruled these adoptions not permissible under state laws. This leaves parents in many states legally unrecognized or severely disadvantaged in court fights with ex-spouses, ex-partners or other relatives.”

@uberbatman@marmoset Not really very surprising; this place is pretty heavily stacked leftwards, to the point that I begin to wonder why I’m so comfortable here. Just thought I’d throw in a non-contributory comment to underscore the general uselessness of @Blondesjon‘s non-contributory comment. Frankly, I’m surprised that they haven’t all been modded into oblivion.

@Blondesjon‘s score also serves to illustrate that GAs are at least as much about the popularity of an opinion/user as it about the validity of the post.
